SHAvING BRUSH.

Application filed .Tune 16, 1927. Serial NQ. 199,158.

Another-'object is to provideay substan-` tially Cylindrical shieldcarried slidably` by the handle'of'the device and adapted Ywhen v in oneposition to covervthe brush, and ink y its opposite position to surroundthe said' handle and expose the brush for use.l

Still another-object is to provide a holder for a soap-Stick, saidholder normally clos` ing the end ofthe handle Yopposite to thebrush'a1id removably supporting the soapstick in the former, said holderupon being disengaged from said handle serving to remove the soaptherefrom and support theV stick in such manner asto make it readilyavailable for use for Soaping and preparing the face of a person forshaving.

A further object is to provide the holder with an aperture, and with anaxially flexibleV disc longitudinally movable within said holder, andagainst which theV soapstick normally rests in one extreme position,whereby pressure exerted axially upon said disc through Said apertureboth flexes and moves said disc longitudinally, with the result that theStub of unused Soap is adapted to be ejected therefrom. And a Stillfurther object iS vto provide an improved means for assemblingtheejecting disc with the soap-supporting member, said member beingprovided internally with a cir- Y cumferential groove oflarger diameterthan that of the opening into said member, so that the disc oflargerdiameter than said open` ing is axially flexed in order for it to passthrough said opening, after which it Snaps 40 into a Substantially planestate within said receiving groove.

lVith these and other objects inmind, the present invention comprisesfurther details of construction and operation fully brought out inthefollowing description, when read y in conjunction with theaccompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view 0f one embodimentof the invention with the soap and brush in threaded inoperativepositionsv and protected respectively Vby the Surrounding handle andbrush-protecting cylinders; f

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal diametrical section of the same; Fig. 8 isa topplan view of the same; Fig. 4 isa view showing the handle and brush inelevation while the former is Shown as being Surrounded by thebrushpioteeting cylinder in cross-section and in withdrawn position;Fig. 5 is an elevational view of the-Soapfstick and holder thereforperse; and Fig. 6 is an enlarged diametrical Section through the Soapholder and Showing the manner of'ejecting a stub of Soap therefrom. j

vReferring to the drawings, there is a hol- Vlow cylindricalv handlemember 1, the same at one end being provided with internal rthreads 2,and external radially aligned threads 3. The other end of Said member iis provided with internal threads 4 and radially outwardly thereof witha suitably knurled raised surface 5, on the innerl side of which theexterior of said member is pro.- vided for a short distance withexternal threads 6. f, f

Referring particularly to Figs. 2, 3- and 6, there is shown a holder forasoap-stick 7, saidholder providing a cylindrical member 8, provided atits open end with external threads 9, adapted to normally engage theinternal threads of the member 1, and said member 8 being provided atits other end with a radially inwardly directed substantially planeflange 10, having a central aperture 11. The inner surface 12 of Saidmem- Vber 8 is provided at its innermost extent adjacent tothe fiange 10with a radially larger circumferentially extending groovel 13, in whichis positioned an axially flexible nor-V mally plane disc 14 which issprung into said groove by forcing the disc through the open end of thesaid soap-Supporting member.

Normally, the stick of Soap 7 is inserted within the cylindrical surface12 of the member 8 firmly against the disc 14 in its straight or planeposition shown in Fig. 2, after which the holder 8 is adapted to begripped manually for the purpose of applying the soap-stick to the.facer of a person about to j, shave,V orfor the purpose of securing thesoap-stick within the member 1 upon suitable relative rotation in orderto interengage the threads 9 and 4 of the respective inem-V bers.

In the otherwise open end of the handle member 1 there is removablysecured an externally threaded means 15 which constitutes a Support forthe fixed ends of bristles-which extend 'freely therefrom and constitutea brush 16. This brush when not in use may vbe surrounded and protectedby a hollow cylindrical member 17, which is open at its free end 18, butat its opposite end is prollO vhlutl with i11111111111-1111111105 t9Wllith vllgflgth thl'omh: ti ol 111l1l hunt-llo 1110111l1ff1' 11sfahomyA has worn flown to sul1st1111t1`111l]y1thv15111111:`
